As lightning flashed in the sky, Friday night’s season opener for both East and Jordan was suspended for more than an hour at halftime, with the Leopards holding a 21-7 lead.
And as the teams went to their respective locker rooms, an altercation broke out between a player and a fan.
A Jordan player became engaged with a heckling East fan, and the altercation resulted in a police presence being called to the scene. No arrests were made after an initial investigation, and no charges are expected to be filed, sources told The Tribune.
The Jordan player in question was allowed to play in the second half when the game resumed, but the school is expected to investigate the matter further, Jordan High athletics director Brandon Watts said.
